The project to develop the largest wind farm in Moldova enters a new stage of execution, with the start of works for the 110/33 kV transformer station in the Bogdanesti area, part of the South cluster. This development complements the already advanced works in the Deleni, Viișoara Nord and Banca–Ivești stations and extends the connection infrastructure of the 140 MW wind farm in Vaslui County.
Within this project, Adrem has the role of general contractor and delivers the complete connection infrastructure, covering all stages – from design and engineering to execution, integration and commissioning. The new substation is part of this integrated solution, being designed to take over the energy produced at the level of 33 kV and raise it to 110 kV, for transport in the National Energy System.
The execution of the substation involves the construction of a complex infrastructure, which includes both civil construction works and the installation and integration of electrical energy equipment. At this stage, Adrem teams are working on the preparation of the site, the execution of the foundations and technological platforms, as well as the construction of the necessary buildings for the command and control equipment.
The electrical energy component of the project includes the installation of high and medium voltage equipment, the construction of primary and secondary circuits, the implementation of protection and automation systems, as well as the complete integration into SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and operation. The substation will be connected to the 110 kV network through underground power lines and will work in coordination with the other stations in the project, in the same operating logic.
An important element in the execution of this project is the maintenance of a unitary approach at the level of the entire wind farm infrastructure. The technical solutions used are aligned with those implemented in the other stations, so that the operation is coherent and the integration into the grid is achieved without operational differences between the nodes.
Through this new stage, we continue the development of a distributed connection infrastructure, built at several key points, which allows the controlled and safe evacuation of the energy produced by the wind farm. The Bogdănești substation contributes to the configuration of a complete system, in which the production, transformation and transport of energy are integrated into a single functional architecture.
The works in the South cluster thus mark the extension of the field execution and the consolidation of the connection infrastructure necessary for the integration of the wind farm into the National Energy System.
Upon completion of the project, the wind farm will deliver approximately 370 GWh of renewable energy annually, contributing to powering about 62,000 households and reducing emissions by more than 215,000 tons of CO₂ per year.
We thank all partners involved in the development of this project for their collaboration and contribution to the implementation of an energy infrastructure of this magnitude.
We will be back with updates as the works progress on the ground.
